THERE ARE sacrifices Americans should make, and probably would if the government stopped relying on the fiction of the free market and took decisive action. The 12-mile-a-gallon Cadillac ought to go the way of the grass-eating brontosaurus, and government regulation should drive it to extinction if natural selection doesn't. Immediate price controls and rationing of gasoline would instantly force a reduction in oil consumption and dependence on imports--and this is a sacrifice Americans have long been willing to make, but this administration has timidly avoided. There are sacrifices aplenty to be made everywhere...
...headed by Park Choong Hoon, a retired major general and administrator credited with having been a force behind South Korea's economic development. On Tuesday the Martial Law Command announced that it had decided to close down the National Assembly indefinitely. Opposition members assembled on the grass in a kind of sit-down strike.

Late last week Kwangju remained under the effective control of its insurgents, but hastily organized "citizens' committees" were trying to reimpose some order at the grass roots.

...image of the solemn, mild-mannered reporter by writing pieces that would have turned Clark Kent's blue hair white. As a Rolling Stone correspondent and in his Fear and Loathing books, he chronicled his lavatory run-ins with Richard Nixon and George McGovern and his experiences with grass, mescaline, acid, cocaine, uppers, downers, Wild Duck, Budweiser and ether. In between trips, he produced some of the most incisive perceptions of the sixties and early seventies in print. Irreverent, volatile, and almost always stoned out of his mind, Thompson couldn't conveniently be categorized as a hippie or a freak...
